Using Agents for Autonomous Internet Payments via EconomyOS — Virtuals Workshop, Agentic AI Build Week
Your agent can reason. It can generate. It can call APIs.
What it can't do yet: pay for things. Hire another agent to complete a task. Earn revenue for the work it performs.
That gap is what EconomyOS closes — and this workshop is where you close it in 60 minutes, live at AABW Build Week.
🔴 WHAT THIS IS
A hands-on session led by Celeste Ang, Head of DevRel at Virtuals Protocol — the team behind EconomyOS, the economic layer for AI agents.
In 60 minutes, you will:
Understand the 4 core EconomyOS primitives: Identity (wallet, agent email, profile, domain), Capital (agent card, balances, budget controls), Commerce (ACP buyer-seller workflows for hiring, selling, and completing paid tasks), and Compute (model access, memory, runtime layer) — the building blocks that turn passive agents into autonomous economic actors
Watch 3 live demos of what agents can actually do: an agent using its own identity and payment rail to complete an internet transaction; an agent hiring another agent for a paid task; an agent exposing a paid service, accepting a job, returning the result, and earning revenue
Build with guidance — guided exercises using your preferred agent harness (Claude, Codex, Hermes) with the Virtuals DevRel team live in the room
Walk away with a productionization blueprint: policies, audit trails, failure handling, and edge case coverage
🔬 HOW THE SESSION IS STRUCTURED
Part 1: EconomyOS Primitives The four core building blocks and how they fit together: identity, capital, commerce, compute. What each one does, why it matters, and how they combine to give your agent economic agency on the internet.
Part 2: Live Demos Three short demonstrations: agent email + payment rail for an internet transaction; ACP buyer flow (hiring an agent to complete a paid task); ACP seller flow (exposing and selling a service autonomously).
Building Time + Q&A Guided hands-on exercises with the Virtuals DevRel team. Bring your AABW project — this is time to actually implement.
Wrap & Next Steps Production-readiness guide: policies, audit trails, handling failures and edge cases.
👥 WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for you if:
You're building an agentic system at AABW and want it to act on the internet — not just reason
You've thought about agent monetization or multi-agent coordination but don't know where to start implementing
You want your agents to transact, hire, and earn autonomously — not just answer prompts
This is NOT for you if you're looking for a crypto investing or DeFi overview. EconomyOS is builder infrastructure — this session is implementation-first, not theory.
🎯 YOUR SPEAKER
Celeste Ang — Head of DevRel, Virtuals Protocol
Virtuals Protocol is the infrastructure layer for AI agent economies. EconomyOS is their commerce stack — giving agents the primitives they need to transact, hire, sell, and earn on the internet.
